Well, it's kind of like this question: Do you take a bath? (or shower)? If the answer is'Yes' then you'll understand the need to flush your powersteering. Simply put, it getsdirty. If your answer is 'No' - that's creepy:) Powersteering fluid, much like oil and otherscontains additives. In addition, powersteering is one of the few systems in your car thatdoes NOT have a filter on it. So, over the course of the vehicles life, that fluid, whichlubricates the powersteering system, gets dirty and is no longer keeping your system lubricated. As a result, metal parts will rub together and break.

Benefits of a Power Steering Fluid Flush (old fluid removed, system is cleaned, and new power steering fluid is added)

Removes harmful deposits from the power steering system

Conditions and revitalizes seals

Prevents hard steering in cold climates

Eliminates rack and pinion steering stiffness

Eliminates power steering noises and whining (don't you get enough whining from your kids?)

Minimizes risk of future leaks and premature power system failure

When Should I Flush My Powersteering Fluid?

Ok, so I'm going to flush my powersteering fluid. How do I know when to do that? Many car manufacturers do not provide a service interval for powersteering flushes. A good rule of thumb is every 30,000 miles or every two years. These services are pretty cheap (from $59 to $199ish) and so, it's an inexpensive form of insurance. With that said, it's your car. Flush it whenever you think is right or when your trusted friends at Cutshaw recommend it :-) But don't wait too long. Repairingyour powersteering system can cost $500 (and up!).

Marvin – As a mechanic myself I often field complaints about fluid loss. By the time a driver notices a problem the under-hood area is usually an oily mess, making leaks difficult to find. Your mechanic likely diagnosed an obvious leak and recommended the appropriate repair, cleaning up some other potential problem areas a little while he was in there. Once your big leak was fixed, in turn restoring system pressure, smaller leaks may have become more evident (knowing this is what prompted the “another leak” cautionary statement. Your story sounds reasonable and in keeping with the challenges of maintaining automotive systems. The short answer is: It doesn’t sound to me like he’s ripping you off.

This blog is essential to the longevity of your power steering system. Since there is no drain on the system, a flush is the most ideal approach to ensure all the old fluid has been expelled and new fluid has been filled to a proper level.
